Beijing, the screening room of [Wei Ming Tian Xia] company.

Gu Wei, who finished his trip to Japan and South Korea, received a very pleasant news after returning to Beijing.

Just a few days ago, the post-production of [The Wandering Earth] was completed and the film was ready.

So he immediately invited people from China Film Group to come and watch the film, and at the same time notified Wu Jing, who has always been very concerned about the film, to hold a small screening in the company.

More than two hours later, after the screen began to scroll the subtitles, warm applause rang out in the screening room.

"Director Guo, you really didn't disappoint us!

The film was shot so well, and China Film Group's money was not wasted!"

President La stood up and congratulated Guo Fan beside him.

After more than half a year of post-production, the total production cost of [The Wandering Earth] was as high as 450 million yuan, of which China Film Group invested 200 million yuan.

This 200 million yuan in real money is not a small amount for China Film Group. It can be said that [The Wandering Earth] is now the most important project of China Film Group in the past two years.

So today's screening, as the chairman of China Film Group, La Peikang personally attended.

He also wanted to see what the effect of a science fiction movie that cost so much money to make would be.

Now seeing the finished film, La Peikang, as an old filmmaker, couldn't help but be moved. This was the first time he had seen a domestic science fiction movie with this effect.

Now he only had one thought in his mind, "This money was not wasted!"

"Director Guo, the movie was shot so well, and the post-production special effects were simply explosive.

Our previous hard work during the filming was not in vain at all!"

Wu Jing was also excited. He was originally pulled over by Gu Wei to help, and then his relationship with Guo Fan became better and better.

He was moved by Guo Fan's dedication to the movie, so he was particularly careful when filming his own scenes.

Now seeing the finished film "The Wandering Earth", he felt that all his hard work had paid off.

"Congratulations Director Guo!"

"It was shot so well~"

"I can't believe this is the effect that a domestic movie can produce!"

"."

In the screening room, other staff members of China Film and executives of "Weiming Tianxia" congratulated Guo Fan.

Gu Wei stood aside and smiled and applauded.

This was Guo Fan's highlight moment, and he was sincerely happy for him.

Gu Wei is an investor and an actor in the film. He knows best how much Guo Fan has paid for the filming of "The Wandering Earth".

In fact, the IP of "The Wandering Earth" is there, and the adapted story is relatively simple, but the final effect is entirely due to Guo Fan's efforts to strive for perfection.

As a reborn person, Gu Wei knows the final effect of "The Wandering Earth" and knows all the plots of the movie, but if he is asked to leave Guo Fan aside and make this movie by himself, he has no confidence that he can reach the level of the original version.

"Thank you, thank you everyone!" Guo Fan was very excited.

"Thanks to the support of La Dong and Gu Zong, the help of Jing Ge, and everyone's help, "The Wandering Earth" can be made so smoothly."

This is not the first time Guo Fan has watched a finished film. He has participated in all the links of "The Wandering Earth" from preparation to shooting to post-production. He has done everything himself, and at least he will watch from the side to make sure whether it can meet his requirements.

Now that the film can be affirmed by investors, he has greater confidence in the film.

"I'm not bragging. I think our film "The Wandering Earth" can be said to have opened a new era of domestic science fiction films.

It's a bit exaggerated to say that it has surpassed Hollywood, but it is definitely unprecedented and has surpassed all previous domestic science fiction films.

When it is released, it will definitely amaze all Chinese people and become a benchmark for domestic science fiction films!"

Gu Wei spoke last, but gave "The Wandering Earth" a very high evaluation.

But looking at the expressions of other people in the room, everyone agreed with his statement.

All the people present are old people who have been in the film and television industry for many years, and they all know how good "The Wandering Earth" is.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. La, now that the film has been released, when should it be released in the future?"

After accepting everyone's congratulations, Guo Fan asked the two people in the room who can really make the decision the question he is most concerned about now.

Although "The Wandering Earth" has been recognized by investors, what kind of results it can achieve in the end depends on the box office after its release and the audience's evaluation of the film.

La Peikang thought about it and had some plans in his mind, but he didn't say it directly, but looked at Gu Wei.

"What do you think, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Wei smiled.

"I have 100% confidence in "The Wandering Earth". Once our film is released, there will be almost no film that can compete with it in the market.

So if we want to maximize profits, we must release it in the hottest time of the year!"

"What Mr. Gu means."

"Yes, it is the Spring Festival of 2019!" Gu Wei said firmly.

"Since "The Mermaid" sold more than 3 billion, the Spring Festival has become the hottest time of the year.

Although the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" that Brother Jing and I created a box office myth in the summer, through data comparison, the total box office of the Spring Festival is the first in the whole year.

Now there are still 5 months to February 2019, and "The Wandering Earth" also has enough time to preheat and promote.

Next year's Spring Festival is undoubtedly the best time for the movie to be released!"

"Haha~

Great minds think alike. I also think that with the quality of "The Wandering Earth", it can achieve good results during the Spring Festival." La Peikang smiled and expressed his approval.

The two investors of the production company made the decision, and with China Film Group, the release date of "The Wandering Earth" was set.

Then Gu Wei communicated with China Film Group about some details before the release of the movie.

"The Wandering Earth" is a project led by China Film Group. It was originally expected to invest more than 300 million yuan. Later, after Gu Wei joined the project, the total investment increased to 400 million yuan.

The filming was completed at the end of last year, and the post-production lasted for more than half a year. The funds were tight again, and Gu Wei added another 50 million yuan. The investment of RMB was given to Guo Fan, and the film was successfully completed.

Now the production cost of the film alone is as high as 450 million, which is 100 million RMB more than the original time and space. The investment ratio is 55% for [Wei Ming Tian Xia] and 45% for China Film.

Gu Wei was not surprised by the extra investment of 100 million. The post-production of this version of [The Wandering Earth] starring Gu Wei is obviously more refined than the original version, and is close to the special effects of [The Wandering Earth 2].

During the filming, Guo Fan also had more money in his hands, and he did not save money and beg for alms like in the original time and space.

This is also the reason why the film production cost is so much more So many reasons.

Finally, after communication between [Wei Ming Tian Xia] and [China Film], it was decided to take out 5% of the investment share from each side to distribute to other large companies in the circle.

Of course, it is not given away for free. 10% of the investment share is sold to other companies for 100 million yuan.

The target companies currently planned include Youku Film, Jingcheng Yaolai Media, Jinyi Film, Dadi Times, Alibaba Film, Tengxun Film, Shanghai Tao Piao Piao Film, Maoyan Film and other companies.

These are film and television companies that can play a role in film promotion and scheduling when the film is released.

Once this is decided, we just need to contact him later. Just communicate with each other.

Neither Gu Wei nor La Peikang considered that someone would not accept their premium sale of shares in "The Wandering Earth".

10% of the investment share is valued at 100 million yuan, and the final box office of the movie needs to exceed 2.5 billion yuan for these companies to make a profit.

But this is not a problem.

With the 6 billion box office myth created by Gu Wei and Wu Jing before, the two are now working together again. Gu Wei mentioned the term "Space Wolf" when he was preheating the promotion for "The Wandering Earth". I believe that no matter which company in the circle, they will be very happy to pay this money and join this project that looks like it will be a big hit!
